"Offense, offense," Karl Williams, the head coach of the Yale basketball team, shouted hysterically from the sidelines. At the same time, there were also the frantic shouts of tens of thousands of spectators.

Looking around, Chen Shu licked his lips and forced himself to concentrate. Firmly control the basketball, stretch out 3 fingers, and signal his teammates to play No. 3 tactics, blocking and dismantling tactics. After seeing Chen Shu's gesture, the team's core power forward Harrell was on the right side of the position, and the other three players were on the left side of the position. After Chen Shu dribbled to the 3-point line, Harrell approached the free throw line, and Chen Shu quickly started to break through the defense, using Harrell Johnson's blocking to break through the free throw line, attracting the opponent's two defenders After the attack, Harrell immediately distributed the ball, and Harrell dunked down! The score is tied.

"Wow. The audience burst into cheers.

2011 NCAA Divisional Tournament, Ivy League Division Championship Tournament. Both teams had the same record in the previous divisions. According to the NCAA rules, the winner of this tournament will become the top 32 of the NCAA and will enter the March Madness event.

For Yale, the game holds much more significance. A win would mean that Yale University will reach the round of 32 for the first time in 57 years, as the last time Yale made it to the round of 32 was back in 1954.

So for every player, it's a great honor.

However, due to the excessive pressure of the players, everyone played mediocre. At this time, the game went to the fourth quarter, and the score was 56:56. However, most of Yale's scoring is contributed by two cores: point guard Chen Shu and power forward Harrell, but neither of them has a high shooting percentage.

Chen Shu, height 190, plate inch hairstyle, upright facial features, resolute and uninhibited face, eyes as sharp as a sword, people dare not look directly, thin figure, but quite strong.

In the eyes of his family and friends, he is a good student with excellent character and learning. He was admitted to the Yale School of Economics with his immediate efforts, and has been a core figure in the school's varsity team from elementary school to high school.

Now a sophomore, Chen Shu has adapted to the intensity of the NCAA, facing a field full of muscle sticks, but he can firmly grasp the treatment of the core of the team. He played his best throughout the season, scoring 17.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists, steals (2.4), blocks (0.6), shooting 50.2% from the field, 74.4% from the free throw line, and 40.1% from three-point range, ranking in the top 10 in the league in all statistics.

If he had been a black or white player, he would have become a well-known American talent and would have been touted by the media. If he plays in the NBA, then he must lock up the lotto zone. But there is no if, in this racist America, no one will look at a yellow-skinned guard in the basketball circle, because there are no successful cases.

Under such circumstances, Chen Shu held his breath today, he wanted to kill this game and prove it to all those who looked down on him. So he worked hard today, breaking through, splitting, shooting, defending, rebounding, and stealing, but I have to admit that his physical fitness is indeed one level lower than that of other teammates, and now his physical strength is about to be exhausted, and his eyes are a little blurry, although occasionally there is a hint of stubbornness.

The score has been rising alternately, and the game has also reached a white-hot stage, now the score is 62:62, with the last 40 seconds left, the pit bull pair only had one offensive opportunity in the process of a breakthrough, was squeezed hard by the opposing guard Robert (a muscular man with a big mouth and wide nose and wide chin), staggered to the basket, forced to jump in the block of the opponent's center, and used the last trace of strength to pull the rod to make a layup and avoid the block. But the body was indeed blown out of bounds and slammed into the railing. Basket down to the next piece.

The basketball slowly floated into the hoop under everyone's gaze. 2 points were scored, the score was 64:62, the victory of the Bulldogs was in sight, and history was about to be rewritten.

"Whoa," cheered spectators, excited benches waving towels. However, a scream woke everyone up, and it was Chen Shu who was struggling and screaming on the ground with both hands clasping his ankles. Head coach Williams immediately paused, the team doctor stepped forward to inquire slightly, and took Chen Shu out on a stretcher, Chen Shu was almost fainting at this time, exhausted physical strength, pain invasion, career worries.

Everyone came to their senses, and the game had to continue, and under the desperate defense of the bulldogs, Lucas Daniel, the core scorer of Columbia University, finally scored 3 points to win the frame. The players lifted the coach, and after the whole fight, they made history, and they were entitled to cheer. The crowd resonated with the celebrations, and almost no one thought about or cared about the Asian player who was injured. After all, he's just a different and unfavored Asian!
